To prepare Tofu Viva Verde, you can simply pan-fry it until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides. For stir-fries, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and add it towards the end of cooking to warm through and absorb the sauce. It can also be crumbled and used as a plant-based alternative in breakfast scrambles or as a filling for wraps and tacos. Its pre-seasoned nature means it complements a wide range of flavors and cuisines, making meal preparation straightforward and enjoyable.
How it differs from similar foods
